@TonyStark Gov. Abbott and his GOP goons in Austin have taken over the Houston Independent School District (HISD). It won't be long before books are banned from school libraries.
As it stands. Abbott has gone on record instructing teachers to refrain from referring to the KKK as "an immoral organization" as if there are no other adjectives to describe this terrorist organization. He also wants "alternative" approaches to the #Holocaust, i.e., Holocaust denial.

@julescelt01 @bkm Do you who the Freedom Riders were? They didn't use the word the way people used "Freedom fries" because they were mad at the French for not supporting the U.S. in its war against Iraq.

That they braved physical assaults just so people could travel the Interstate without being subject to segregation clearly would justify their use of the word, freedom.

Molly McCarthy. 2013. The accidental diarist: a history of the daily planner in America.
A dense read, but one that sparked a lot of thoughts, and made some surprising connections across history, especially in the late 17th C. Just think about the fact that a 1690s colonial almanac publisher included a 10 page editorial on the "new" Copernican cosmology.
It also brought to mind the day planners distributed by the student council when I was an undergrad.

Last post in honour of #InternationalWomensDay -- The #Jutes and #AngloSaxons knew #March as Hreðemónaþ or Month of Hreðe.
There is very little known about this Goddess, her precise nature and significance remain shrouded in mystery.
Some have suggested that Hreðe was a goddess of victory and glory, celebrated by warriors who sought her favor in battle. Others, however, see her as a more sinister figure, associated with the violence and destruction that inevitably accompany conflict.
What is clear is that Hreðe was a powerful figure, one who inspired both reverence and possibly fear. Her name is derived from "hréþ" which means "glorious victory" and the verb hréðan means "to exult and rejoice". Because of this, she has been associated with war, in particular victory in war.
Another definition is: Quickly, immediately, at once, soon, forthwith, straightway. This could be a clue to the nature of her as well -- She is the Goddess of March, and this may refer to how swiftly weather changes, one day warm and the next still winter.
Hreðe may represent the fight and eventual triumph over the dark and cold of winter.
Some have suggested her name means "cruel", but that is a mistranslation of the #OldEnglish "reþe"
Ultimately, the true nature and significance of Hreðe may never be fully understood. But what is clear is that she remains a compelling and complex figure.

I’m curious about the opinion of the #histodons and their take on this article on Substack that speaks to the Nazi #fascist rise to power prior to #WWII and the strategy used.
In reading it, there seems to be an almost exact parallel to what’s happening w/ the conservative rhetoric that has been increasing toward #lgbt citizens.
But I’ll leave it to the experts. #Histodon, could you weigh in on this? Are there parallels? If so, how can we stop #fascism in the U.S.?

The Trans History You Weren’t Taught in Schools
By Catherine Armstrong
Jun 7, 2021
"#Nonbinary and #trans people have always been here, not least in every recorded society from the ancient world onwards. Why is it then that they’re often absent from the tales and lists of historical figures we hear about? The answer lies, in part, with how history is recorded and who records it.
"People who belong to groups that fear being ostracized and persecuted often only reveal their true selves to a few people. As a result, the visibility of LGBT+ people, even during moments in history when they have faced hostility, is often limited. Coupled with that is a dearth of historical records because authors of these historical accounts were often prejudiced and did not want to record the experiences of those considered shameful under the values of their time.
"Historians working on the queer past need to understand why #LGBT+ people, along with members of other marginalized groups, don’t appear as often in recorded history compared with those outside of these communities. Fortunately, historians are now beginning to look around more carefully to find these important stories."

In some indigenous cultures, they are called Two-Spirit. In India, they are called Hijra. Trans people have existed and do exist in cultures around the globe. Let's look at 10 modern examples of trans women and men who have paved the way and contributed to science through their transitions."

J'ai entendu dans une émission des années 70 sur #Jakobson, sur France culture, que Louis IX dit #SaintLouis aurait souffert d'un léger retard mental probablement, aurait été débile léger. Et que les gens en étaient fascinés parce qu'il tombait un peu des nues tout le temps

Did you ever wonder about former times how #women in #skirts and #dresses survived the formerly still icy winter? Here is a historical skirt from Alsace.

And you can see that this is sewn by hand. Such a long skirt was quite heavy!
